I’d like to believe the bad actors at the FBI will be properly investigated and penalized…but I can’t. (Just like nothing significant was ever done about Koskinen, Lerner and other IRS employees re the Tea Party imbroglio. And nothing will happen to the Clintons and their minions, either.)
These people are our rulers and our federal government is a criminal enterprise.
It’s also clear that I’ve been insufficiently cynical for decades, which is kinda depressing. 🙁
Happy massage-your-cat Wednesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!
I predict that, partly due to a complicity press, not much will come of this whole affair. Perhaps a few low-level staffers will be demoted, perhaps even convicted of minor offenses, but it’s pretty clear that the fix is in.
In many regards, the FBI has been a shithole organization since its founding. Hoover was a rat bastard. And their crime lab has been making shit up for decades. (For instance, the hair analysis scandal from a couple of years ago, wherein there were “errors” found in at least 90% of the cases their experts testified in for decades.)
It ain’t Lewis Erskine and Clarice Starling; it’s unscrupulous, malicious versions of Barney Fife and Gunther Toody.
Happy Cat Spa Wednesday, GN!

Good morning and happy Wednesday, GN! Hi, Fatwa!
Cats.
It is depressing to think about it, Fatwa, but hope springs eternal and all that. Perhaps this time something will happen.
Hai, Sven!
I sure hope you’re right for a lot of reasons.

Hai, Paddy!
I concur with your assessment.
